“Such a possibility like you just said won’t happen.” Tang Xiu calmly nodded and said, “Alright, let’s drop the subject for now. I’ll just ask him to give his word. There’s nothing of concern once we start moving even if he turns his back and aims his gun to us by then.”

“Alright. The idea is sound.” Singluen nodded and said, “Prepping for the worst, as well as its countermeasure, in advance.”

Tang Xiu lightly smiled and waved to Zhang Jue and Gu Tao nearby. As the duo came over, he said, “You both will escort Xinya back to her suite and be responsible for her safety. Also, contact Awu. Ask him about the matter in Ning City. If they are done with it, tell them to leave for Bangkok directly.”

“Understood,” answered the duo in unison.

Turning to look at Zhang Xinya, Tang Xiu then said, “Go back to your room and wait for me there. I’m going to settle this issue.”

“Would you like me to go with you?” she asked with a worried face. “I’m afraid…”

“You have seen what I’m capable of, haven’t you?” Tang Xiu interrupted her and said smilingly, “It’s alright. Let alone Kanaja, even the most powerful Kingpin in this country cannot possibly harm me. Alright, listen to me. Go back and have some rest. I’ll be back in half an hour at most.”

“Alright, then!”

Zhang Xinya realized that she wouldn’t be able to help even if she came along. She immediately nodded and left.

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu and Singluen came to the conference hall. When they saw hostile men under Kanaja, their eyes shot back at them with contempt as they nonchalantly waltzed forward to the front of Kanaja and apathetically said, “Don’t think of playing some cheap tricks on me. You’ve come with both of them, meaning you’re going to stand for them. Whatever path you choose to take, I’ll take them all.”

“You misunderstood me, Mr. Tang,” said Kanaja with a hollow smile. “I’ve come to you because I already know that the fault is on my men and is quite big nonetheless. That’s why I brought them to you to apologize to Ms. Zhang. I’ve already heard of your resounding distinguished name. My men are in the wrong, so punish them however you see it fit.”

This made Tang Xiu crease his brows due to his surprise. This wasn’t Kanaja’s attitude just a bit ago, right? What made him change his attitude—or, what exactly happened before he arrived?

Even if this fella did have some ways to investigate his identity in China, what he could find on the surface should be his status as a scion of the Tang Family, the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, and a young Divine Doctor from the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. It was impossible for him to figure out his relationship with the Everlasting Feast Hall.

So where is the problem then?

Tang Xiu observed Kanaja and was withdrawn for several seconds before he slowly said, “It seems like I just looked down on you, Kanaja.”

Although Kanaja couldn’t see Spectre around, it didn’t spare him from shuddering with fear inside. He let out an obsequious smile, saying, “No, no, no. You’re overpraising me, Mr. Tang. Just like the Chinese adage says, I’m just as light as a feather—nothing compared to you.”

“You also know about Chinese culture?” said Tang Xiu in surprise.

“I know some trivial things, no more,” answered Kanaja in awkward Mandarin. “I like Chinese culture, but I have little time to learn it; hence, I only have some shallow knowledge about it.”

This was a surprise to Tang Xiu as he didn’t expect that the Underground Lord in Bangkok was not only proficient in English, but was also able to speak Mandarin. This guy was definitely not your ordinary layman! It’s no wonder that he can paint anything black or white as he pleases in Bangkok. It seems that this guy is exceptionally adept in doing various things well.

“You’ve truly opened my eyes, Kanaja. Alright, let’s go back to speaking in English since your Mandarin is rather awkward. You see, your men have truly annoyed me and I’m very angry at them for harboring such untoward intention and conspiring against my woman! You can expect that I’ll never drop this shit if you don’t give a satisfactory explanation!”

Instead of answering, Kanaja directly got up and maliciously kicked Songzan and Alloway’s legs to make them bend and kneel before Tang Xiu. He then obsequiously smiled and said, “I admit that it was these two bastards’ mistakes; all the blame is on them. But I also hope that you can be magnanimous and take mercy on them to spare their lives. I’ll order them to make up for their mistake and compensate you. Additionally, Songzan has told me four times that he admires you. It’s just that he didn’t know that Miss Zhang is your woman and thus harbored some crooked intentions to her. Please spare and forgive him this time, given how loyal of your admirer he has always been.”

“He’s my admirer, huh? And tell me, why would you become my admirer in the first place ? ” asked Tang Xiu with a faint smile. “I don’t think my name has spread to Thailand or would be known to anyone here, though.”

“You’re the Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, the company that produces the God’s Nectar.” Kanaja hurriedly interjected, “That’s a great wine all of us have dreamed of tasting here!”

“You know so much about me?” Tang Xiu’s countenance changed and he faintly said, “Well, well. You seem to have investigated me thoroughly, huh?

“No no no.” Kanaja hurriedly waved. “I didn’t. Absolutely. I was just…”

Ring, ring, ring…

At this time, however, Tang Xiu’s smartphone rang, interrupting Kanaja’s speech.

Tang Xiu took his handset out and looked at the caller displayed on its screen. It was Bai Tao, which somehow made him feel a bit strange since the guy hadn’t once called him for a long time. How did he suddenly remember to give him a call now? Although he felt puzzled, he still picked up his call and spoke with a light smile, “Hey, Old Bai. I got a trivial issue I need to deal with now, so I’ll call you back later if you have nothing urgent.”

“No no. Don’t rush to hang up, Tang Xiu,” said Bai Tao. “There’s something I wanna ask you about, hence why I’m calling you now.”

“What is it?” asked Tang Xiu.
